That's a cool chassis, scr8p (and tamiyadan). I really like seeing some of these vintage enthusiast-grade pan-cars, some of the engineering was quite unorthodox for their time, and effective.

I'm getting the itch to continue working on my Agitator build.

Those Raborn Delta parts are easily worth what you paid for the whole car.

I know nothing about the Dominator, does it use the same size pitch chain the Yok 834b uses?

The Dom arrived and is in better condition than I’d ever hoped. Just needs a thorough cleaning. The poor thing’s been neglected and needs a little TLC. I’ll use this thread to chronicle the restoration and ask any questions I have. Feel free to...

Since picking this up on craigslist last week as part of a misc rc cleanup lot, I've decided to learn a bit more about it and clean'er up and get it running. I'll decide later if I end up selling it.

I wonder if my old Custom Works Dominator ended up here?

I was browsing google the other day and came across a picture of my old Dominator. I always regretted selling that car even though I thought I got pretty good money for it at the time. I'll have to dig up my photo's of the car. It was one hell of a...

I still have mine - one of Jim Deiter's cars - in fact it has the same orange wheels as yours.

Do you happen to have any pics you can share? :mrgreen:

Did or do you know Dieter? I ran at a couple of his local tracks in the Joliet area as a...

Here's one of my latest purchase. They came in separate auctions from the same seller who poorly listed them and got the lot for very few bucks. I mainly bought them for the electronics: NER-2S receiver, NES-1A servo and a almost brand new Reedy...

Amazing find! Those cars were called The Dominator for good reason. I was a 2wd lowered and converted buggy oval racer in the early nineties. One day a guy showed up to the track with a Dominator. It was like a rocket ship on rails compared to the...

Here's a Custom Works Dominator I finally built after having it sit for a few years. I replaced all the plastic pieces, polished the metal parts and added Houge diff sprockets and new chains.

I used a re-wired Novak T-1X, NER-2X, NES-1A and...

I feel like if you don't make up a set of silicone caps to put on it, it just isn't complete. Don't get me wrong, it's an absolutely AMAZING build! I always wanted one of these in spite of never racing dirt oval, nor having a dirt oval track...

Awesome build! I cant imagine how fast those cars would go with modern power! They were insane the last time I saw them race in '89!
